My heart skips a beat Whenever a door slams My heart skips a beat Whenever I hear footsteps Days and nights tensely lived Not knowing what to think Locks on doors, windows shut Living a life in a cringe and a shrink Shrink from most shadows Images of the unknown Freezing, still, in my sleep Waiting for what will be shown My heart skips a beat With an impression on my bed Sleep disturbed, fear increased Not knowing the thoughts that spin through my head I live alone, so no one is there But my mind won’t let me rest Tightly wound, hands clinched tight Every day, every day, spent in fright My heart skips a beat Whenever I’m at church I hear the words of Jesus Christ There’s no fear, or any dread My heart skips a beat Because I feel my life is changing Yes, I still cringe at night Yet it doesn’t always feel the same My heart skips a beat I’ve learned the Father is near As long as I have Him in my life I know there is nothing to fear Cringes lessen, tightness fades I let the Lord shine His light Sounds not heard, shadows no more Jesus is the one to get me through the night My heart skips a beat I have been saved Comforter, Protector, Redeemer
